Government Processing Guide : Passport Application
April 2017, my husband applied for a Passport Appointment via online. He discussed it with me of what is the best date and time to get, and we agreed 2nd week of July, he set an appointment for all of us, we are all 5 in the family. We set the passport application appointment in DFA Alabang, located at the 4th floor of Metro in Alabang Town Center.
When July arrive, I was already busy completing our requirements, make sure that we also have the documents photocopied according to what is stated in the website (https://www.dfa.gov.ph/). Since everything seems to be in their website, what I am going to share in my blog are basically what are not written on it. Since we are applying for passports with kids I want to share some tips for your guidelines.
TIPS :
1. Kindly be in your appointment time 30minutes ahead just to avoid any inconvenience.
2. Please wear proper attire, no earrings and colored contact lenses during the photo capturing.
3. I suggest that you do the touch up of your make up and have your hair done before going to your line, bring water and some food or even toys for your kids if you have toddler like us. Since queuing start in the encoding part which is the last part.
4. If you are applying with kids, then please ready a photocopy of the mother's appointment schedule form and the passport (front and last page), since they will attach it to your children's documents.
5. If you are for passport renewal and you have Electronic Passport (E-passport), all you need to bring is photocopy of the expired passport, that's it!
6. If you are for passport renewal and you have Machine Readable Passport (MRP without IC Chip logo), then you need to bring PSA Authenticated Birth Certifiate and for married applicants, you need to bring PSA Marriage Certificate.
7. Bring school id for your children who are already studying and if you have kids who are still not going to school then that is ok just bring their PSA Authenticated Birth Certificate all original and your PSA Marriage Certificate.
8. After DFA staff encoded the information they will let you double check all the information so make sure that all details are correct.
We were there at 12NN and we were able to complete all the procedure at around 2PM. Long queue starts in encoding but that is ok since it was still fast. We choose pick up over delivery since Alabang is just near our place. The DFA staff reminded us to pick up the passport on the scheduled date given.
Steps :
At the entrance there is a reception that will verify your appointment date and time, and they will let you proceed to Step1
Step 1 they will verify your documents if information are correct and your requirements are complete.
Step 2 is Payment
Step 3 Encoding, this is where they encode your details and photo capturing, and basically the last step.
